Should I test my soil prior to planting bare root roses?Updated 4 months ago
Yes! The journey to thriving roses begins with a soil test! I highly recommend testing your soil before planting to learn how to amend your soil with the ideal elements for your location. Already planted your roses? It’s never too late for a soil test! Save yourself the time and headache over trying to figure out what your roses need, or why they’re not performing as you’d hoped.
My absolute favorite test is made by Soil Kit and can be purchased right here on our website, Amazon or ask for it at your local nursery. All you have to do is register your sample online, collect your soil, and mail it off in the pre-paid and pre-addressed envelope. Within 2 days, you will receive your test results along with personalized recommendations for specific types and application rates of fertilizer and soil amendments.
